Nordwiijk – Sailor Boy (2015)




/Electro-acoustic, Crossover, Avant-garde, Experimentalism, Ambient, Abstract, Post-industrial, Noise, Jazz, Improvised music, Acousmatic music/

Comment: what to say about Montrèal? Montrèal Canadiens, my favourite sports team is having an amazing new season launch with 7 wins in a row. However, Montrèal is an important location for many substantial artists, mostly related to underground and avant-garde music scenes. Obviously two of the most well-known imprints are Constellation Records and Where Are My Records the focus of both of those labels are set up to promote mainly post-rock music. However, Jeunesse Cosmique is a cult label being endorsed among the indie music fans. Nordwiijk`s album Sailor Boy is a marked notch in the discography of the label because of embracing sounds which are puzzling enough to be firmly categorized yet this patchwork quilt of 10 tracks is enchanting enough to repeat it again and again in your music player. At times it is a sort of improvised and jazz music, at times it is a sort of electronic and noise music, at times electro-acoustic and chamber music, at times it is getting quite close to ambient/post-rock and post-industrial music. All these elements are organically merged with each other or juxtaposed against each other. I don`t know what exactly it is but is sounds in a very convincing way. Certainly it does have something of a parochial, Montrèal-alike flavour around it.

Sally Paradise - L'Ascension du Mont Shing (EP) (2010)


/Chillwave, Experimental indie, DIY, Shoegaze, Dreamwave, Glo-fi, Hypnagogic pop, Electronic pop, Post-pop/

Comment: First of all, Sally Paradise, a Montrèal-based group has itself had a lot of line-ups and shapes and peoples through time and history, but now they are formed as a powerful threesome, sometimes foursome. They used to be inspired by lots of guitars (krautrock, psychedelic fuzz, fucked up foreign pop, flailing female grunge bands), huge-fat-ass mofo-ing beats (Wu-tang, I AM, GI Joe Killaz, Dose One ) and freak noise/spaced-out things (all those Japanese noise bands, John Zorn, Klaus Schulze, Mitsou). L`Ascension du Mont Shing is the quebecois` kick-off issue. It is a multifarious release in its stylistical clutter, furthermore, by the sensual side of the album sexual appeal gets surfaced as the indispensable result of a tight interaction of searing chillwave-ish whiffs, half-stifled dreaminess and sultry shoegaze-inflected progressions (and sung in French, of course!). On the other side, the listener gets headed off as if into the very early stage of his/her childhood. By the way, this blissed-out combo is now preparing a little tour in the US for September (Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, etc.) with their buddy Félix de l'Étoile and a special project with Téléphone Maison, both cosmic people at Jeunesse Cosmique.

Casque-T-êtes - Casque-T-êtes (2010)



/Avant-garde, Psych-folk, Chamber music, Dream folk, Musique concrète, New Weird Canada, Experimentalism, Avant-folk, Freeformfreakout, Noise/

Comment: Montrèal-based combo`s release is stunningly obscure, demented psych-pop music as if produced by the members of Sonic Youth stayed on a heavy dope trip. The quebequers glitch-esque/electro-acoustic abrasiveness is interwoven with chamber-based progressions and spatial concrete sounds, which at times will be evolved into sublime French-sung (in fact, one of them is in English as well) folk ditches filled in with dreams and recherche noise/folk/ambient cross-breeds containing shitloads of "errors" in between. In conclusion, it is an example of cosmic youth indeed.
